A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT OUR CIDER:

All of the apples used in the cider are grown here at the farm. The varieties of apples we use are considered "dessert" varieties and we search out combinations that offer maximum sugar and balanced acidity for a light, refreshing cider. The alcohol content of our ciders range from 6% to 7% and can be classified as off dry to semi-sweet for sugar content. Heritage, bittersweet, and bittersharp varieities native to both Europe and North America are being planted and will eventually be mixed in to add better flavor and more body to our blends in years to come!

Our ciders are hand-crafted on site in 300 gallon batches. At minimum, it takes 10 weeks from pressing the apples until its finished and ready to serve, but it can take longer, up to 6 months of aging can be required for our "Barrel Aged" ciders. We use simple methods with attention to detail, including cultured yeasts for predictability of desired flavor. We strive to preserve fruit flavors by choosing not to filter and use minimal, if any, preservatives (sulfites). Before serving, we force carbonate and slightly back sweeten our ciders. We have quart and half gallon sized growlers available for you to take some home in. Please remember our ciders are best when consumed within 2 weeks of purchase and are kept fresh by always being stored in your refridgerator.
